Sherlock

In the Great Game, Sherlock goes all teacup stance with Watson's 9mm. Poor Brits... They've lost it all, by 2011. All their innate gun handling skills. Pointed it at Moriarty that way.

Ok, so all movie/TV productions make that mistake. Didn't Black Widow do the same with a baby Glock in Avengers movie?

Speaking of model. Moriarty named the pistol Sherlock was about to point at him. Called it am L9A1. The venerable Browning Hi-Power. Though the only pistol I've seen in the series is Watson's SIG. And... yup, that's what Cumberbatch's Holmes is holding.

Also. Saw Aliens, again, this weekend. Vasquez carries a 1911 in that movie. Just goes to show... There might be some unknown flaw in the plastic pistols to make them inappropriate for Space Marines 100s of years in the future...

I DID double check the Sherlock gun, if I was a little careless with the Aliens gun. Held in his teacupped little british hand you can clearly see a decocker and a SIG takedown lever. Clearly not a Browning.

Good Advice

"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."

Big Mistake for Her

If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.
